Been there, looked at that... Pricing for the 10000 is almost
exactly the same as the 12000, it's not a mid-line replacement
unless the idea is to close the gap by pumping the 7206VXR.
The 10000 remains narrowly focused on the aggregation front in
terms of line cards, I'm not sure that it's doing anythign that
couldn't have been done in the GSR framework.
The other direction is of course the 6500 based "switch" fabric
with multiple router modules, not all that convincing either.
Still waiting to see a new generation PA-card based w/distributed
processing (ala VIP) series materialize.
